To find some meaning in every single day
To keep the creeping blues at bay
There is something that I have found
Not a mantra earth-shattering or profound
It is to create something beautiful each day
With your hands and your mind, in your own way
We all have talents, evident, or waiting to be
Explored by ourselves, for everyone to see
So I urge you, gather your tools today
Let your imagination soar and lead the way
Let your creative spark be ignited
Let me convince you, you would be delighted
When your fruits of labor are realized
The finished product might leave you quite surprised
As you marvel at how you never thought you could
Create something so original, never thought you would
Find joy in working with your imagination
And come up with a wonderful story/poem/artistic creation
Maybe it is the way you organized your home today
Or cooked something delicious, in a different way
We are all artists, most with untapped potential
Trapped in our busy lives, dealing with issues “essential”
But the joy of creation is a tool powerful
That makes me strive to create something beautiful
Most days, knowing this process
Helps me feel content, makes me feel blessed.
